“Boss…..” Mike spoke for the first time since the call.
“What?”
“You got several calls from Lola before we got here.”
“It has nothing to do with this.” He quickly dismissed. He knew that Lola was only calling because she was worried and wanted to hear his voice one more time before they left for the operation. He wanted Thea’s voice to be the last so he didn’t bother picking or reading her text.
“What are you suggesting?” Angel asked even though he was getting some ideas as well.
“What if Lola had some information for you. She called several times.” Angel blinked, worry clading his face. He had been too absorbed with the idea that Lola was all about her feelings for him that he didn’t think outside the box.
“We should call the mansion… Now!” He yelled when Mike hesitated. Manuel’s men were still waiting for a contrary instruction and Angel was the one to give it.
They reached out to Knight and the moment he picked up ‘Angel’ was the first thing Knight called. He sounded like he had things to say.
“Lola is here and she’s pissed off” He said. Angel let out a sigh of relieve instead, she was right to be angry at him but he was grateful that she cared so much to come to the mansion.
“Angel?” Lola’s voice was the next thing he heard.
“Lola I’m sorry…..”
“Save your apology Angel. I’m only here to help. You can think of me as a desperate woman in love but I told you already. I understand that I can never have you.” She said but Angel could hear the bitterness in her voice. He felt so guilty about his assumptions.
“Are you there?” She asked when he remained awfully silent.
“Yes.”
“You need to listen to me Angel. Sparrow seems to have a change of plans.”
“He already did.”
“What?”
“If there’s anything you know, it will be of great help.” Angel said putting his hope on her
“My dad sent Denzell out yesterday.” She started. Denzell, he could remember the man, he was one of Don Ricardo’s trusted men. “I had men follow him and currently he’s out of town. I just got the informatiom tonight that Sparrow isn’t meeting at whatever location you think he’ll be meeting with the buyer. It will take you four hours to the next town.”
Damn it! That was a good one on Sparrow’s side. Now Angel had to convince tell the DEA that they either moved or waste their time waiting at the former location.
Angel couldn’t handle things on his own now. The next town wasn’t his territory and he needed some legal support there. The DEA was his best ally.
Angel reached out to Cole and gave him instructions to allow the exchange to be made.
Manuel’s men were told to delay as much as they could while he had another team come along with him to the next town where they’d ambush or attack Sparrow.
It was a long ride, not like he could book a flight immediately and drag an entire team along with amunitions with him. To move quietly they had to do it by road.
Sparrow’s men were to arrive few minutes after Angel and his men got there. Seeing that they weren’t there already Angel was early. The DEA were in places, they had used a chopper instead of going by land. Now, they were all lying in wait.
Soon the Vans began to arrive and the tension amingst them grew after a while of waiting, they could see three men on suit step out of the building. They waited patiently for sparrow but he wasn’t showing up. Did it mean he wasn’t here to begin with? Angel thought.
It had better not be the case. They all waited till the exchange was over and tge buyers had received the goods completely. The Vans were closed and Angel was filled with great disappointment
Sparrow didn’t appear at the scene.
